Street Trees

1017 W Howe ST

Case Date:
7/22/2024

The tree in the front of my home is jeopardizing my and my neighbor's roofs. We have three large silver maples here surrounding my home. The neighbor's giant, healthy silver maple broke in multiple points during the recent storms, destroying my roof and the back half of my house. It's costing about 15k in repairs, and my insurance took half of my claim amount away in non-recoverable depreciation and the deductible, so I only have enough to fix the roof even though my ceilings, floors, walls and electrical fixtures were all damaged as well. Additionally, the flood damage caused extensive mold growth throughout the back of my house. We are trying to work together to take care of these trees so this does not happen again, especially since I have to replace the whole roof. They are working to address one of the trees by taking out a loan, but the one in front of my house is on city property, and it would be good for us to get those larger overhanging branches trimmed back. Howe St becomes like a wind tunnel over on this corner when it storms and the trees are dangerous at that height. Additionally, there is a tree on the back side of my property in the alleyway between my house and the Optima Dermatology Center. The tree is overgrown and pulling down on the power lines that are connecting the pole to my house and my other neighbor's house. I will contact Duke about this, but they said on their website that they will only address the portion that is affecting the main power lines, not the lower power lines. In this particular case, the tree is affecting both the lower and upper lines, so I'm not sure whose jurisdiction that would be. It would only let me include one image, but I have three that I can send you to get a better look.

Street Trees

W Prospect St

Case Date:
7/22/2024

The trees and weeds are overgrown on the north side of Prospect Street west of Madison St. The trees are hanging down so low they touch vehicles as they go by. The entire bank has been overgrown for years with trees and weeds. The whole bank of weeds and trees needs to be cut down and maintained. Even though there have been previous reports, the city has never fully addressed this issue. This city property needs to be maintained to minimize rodents, poisonous weeds, and to maintain property values. What is it going to take for the city to finally and continually address this issue? Also, a large dead tree at the rear of the property is unsightly.

There is a dead placard tree I believe has just been forgotten. It is directly across the street from 1415 S. high street driveway. It is easy to find and is totally dead. Nothing urgent but thought you all should know. Thanks for the great work on getting the vendor going per storm clean-up.

There is a very large tree in the street right of way that was damaged in the storm three weeks ago. A huge limb is left hanging. When that limb falls someone will be hurt possibly killed. Whose responsibility is it to take down? The limb would no doubt fall into the street.
